Is there a large text or zoom feature for CBT?

There is an Accommodation setting called "Initial Zoom" that can be set for a student as a "Zoom" starting point. As a reminder, schools should have any students that need accommodations for computer-based testing to practice with the online Question Sampler. Schools can also order Large Print paper copies for students through the NYSED online examination request system if the zoom features offered in Nextera are not the best way to deliver the test accommodation to the student.

In Nextera Admin, test coordinators can pre-set the "Initial Zoom" level by the following zoom percentages:

• 100 (Default unless otherwise set)• 150• 200• 300

In the Nextera Test Delivery System, the student can use the -/+ tools to choose the level by the following zoom percentages:

• 75• 90• 100 (Default unless otherwise set)• 110• 125• 150• 200• 300

Note that the student always has the opportunity to change the value once he/she has started the CBT test in the Nextera Test Delivery System. The values set with the "Initial Zoom" accommodation are a starting point for the student.
